Traditionally, the Jewish woman’s responsibilities have centered on the home and family, but in contemporary society, many talented and creative women are taking on high-powered careers outside the home. Those who have opted for a more traditional lifestyle sometimes feel that they are missing out, and that their lives lack clear purpose and meaning. They have begun to question the importance of their role as housewife-and-mother in particular, and the role of today’s woman within Judaism in general.

In this warm, sensitive book, Rabbi Yisroel Miller provides a fresh outlook and keen insights into the subjects of marriage and childrearing, and the function of the Jewish woman as guardian of the Jewish family.
